Monsanto Co. has dominated the bioengineered-seed business for years and recently began expanding its footprint in emerging markets like Argentina, Brazil and parts of Asia.

While the vast majority of Monsanto’s business comes from genetically enhanced seeds and herbicide, the company is also making investments in computerized tools for the agricultural sector.
